It started with a dream and the dream was to enable you to build your own computer with less bucks. Education for all sounds really funny on those corners of this earth where a full square meal for a single belly is a luxury. Everyday, our world is getting smarter dealing with these hurdles where technology is turning questions into answers. Likely, cheap computers and their manufacturers have been trying to deliver a ‘new low price’ every single time they launch a new product.
